Okay, feedback first. During the bits with the pads and clean synths, like at 0:30-1:00, the stereo separation of the synths is pretty much backwards - the highs and mids sit in the middle while the lows come from the sides. You don't want to separate lows like that because they can really muddy up your mix, which I feel like they do here. Also, the pad and pluck synth seem to fight for a few of the same frequencies, so I'd have EQ'd them a bit more. During the drop, I notice that the single hi-hat between the beats sounds really clangy, not high and crisp like it should in a mix like this, so I'd have given that sample a highpass and also played around with adding open hats or rides or something, because that section feels really dry without a few elements that have decent release to them (you may have also tried some very slight delay on the bass).

As for what I like, the bass patch you use in the drop certainly has a nice bite to it, and the kick sounds really nice and tight. I'd be interested in hearing something like this again, just a bit cleaned up :3
